HOLY BATSH*T ....MINE just arrived ..... hurriedly put it in the player and cannot believe how dynamic it sounds ....... Sounds literally flying all over the room, solid vocals/BASS ....IMO, leaving the two previous Santana QUADS in the dust...well, not quite!
The MoFi Stereo SACD which I recently listened to was but a pale replication of Japan's latest offering. It sounds like you're literally in the studio with the band.
And the packaging which many have already commented on is simply stunning.
SONY JAPAN has once again proved that when they put their nose to the grind ....... QUAD perfection!
Hope you all get your copies soon and share my experience with Santana III ........It's an eyeball popper and certainly an EAR PLEASER!
